Firefox extensions that I use

As you can see, I am currently running Firefox 1.5.0.1 as my web browser. Here are the extensions that I have installed :

  • Image Zoom
  • Fasterfox
  • Adblock – perfect for blocking, you’ve guessed correctly, ads! It can also block annoying Flash animations…
  • FlashGot – connects KGet (which I use as a download manager) and Firefox.
  • GooglePreview – one of my favourites. It displays thumbnails of the websites returned when you search for something using Google.
  • Colourful Tabs
  • del.icio.us – you need to try the del.icio.us service. I’m sure you’ll be hooked. Check the popular links.
  • PDF Download
  • Download Statusbar
  • Wizz RSS News Reader – check it out. It’s a very good RSS aggregator.
  • Reveal
  • Gmail space – use your Gmail account like an online 2Gb disk! It works!!!

By itself, Firefox is really nice. But combined with extensions, it just blows away that piece of crap software from our friends (not) from Redmond :

    The best browser isn’t firefox, nor IE.
    Firstly because firefox is slow compared to “that best browser”.
    Secondly firefox default interface is sleepy.
    And for IE, well it should be replaced in all future windows.
    Someone knows what is the best browser?

    Firefox[for ur info 3.0 was already out last month]is great just only because of its tons! of extensions. When it comes to speed, its a turtle compared to Opera. Try the 9.51 and then u tell me-for mac i think there should be one. But the drawbacks of Opera is that its download manager sucks compared to firefox. Personally i use idm,so why should i care. Well,thats all,if u want a time for change in browsing,download opera today-i’m not affiliated with them,but only a proud user. p.s: the 9.50 was a real flop with plenty of bugs. This is why after 1 week they corrected it with the 9.51. For safari,its speed is still slow compared to opera. I’ve tried many browsers: IE 6, IE 7, firefox 1, 2 & 3, maxthon, k-meleon, avant, safari, seamonkey, opera, netscape… And I GUARANT-DAMN TEE u that opera rocks,this why its nickname is ‘The fastest browser on earth’.
